Here are some schedule notes for those interested ...
Most likely, the first competition involving a Sultanlar Ligi team will be the BVA (Balkan) Cup, which Galatasaray will host. I don't believe that dates have been officially announced, but it sounds like it will most likely be the week of Sept. 9-15. It will definitely be at some point in September.
The Turkish Cup group stage, featuring all but last season's top five Sultanlar Ligi finishers, will be played from Sept. 20-22. The three group winners plus the five with byes will advance to the quarterfinals. No dates for the knockout stage have been announced as far as I can tell, but that will most likely be in 2025.
The league season starts the weekend of Oct. 5-6 and will run to March 19 with the playoffs in April (I don't think they'll start before April 1). Those will wrap up before the Champions League Final Four takes place from May 3-4.
Use the below two documents to view the league schedule. Teams on the left of each matchup hosts the match in the first half of the season while their opponent is the host on the corresponding date in the second half.
The postseason format will be the same as last year, featuring best-of-three semifinals, a best-of-five championship series, a best-of-three third-place series and playoffs for the 5th-8th teams, all of those best-of-three series.
As usual, Fenerbahçe, Eczacıbaşı and VakifBank will be in the Champions League group stage while THY and Kuzeyboru will be in the CEV Cup, all five of those teams starting European play in early November. If Galatasaray wins the BVA Cup, it will enter the CEV Challenge Cup in the middle of October.

Nice summary. Please also note that BVA Cup will be played between 13th-16th of September. The opponents of Galatasaray will be; OK Zeleznicar - Serbia PAOK - Greece KV Drita Gjilan - Kosovo ZOK Igman - Bosnia Herzegovina

I know a lot of people are excited about Begum Kaçmaz and Bengisu, a little disappointed they didnt get awards. On the other hand, both Beren and Defne Başyolcu are promising opposites coming through the pipeline

Where are you getting your BVA Cup information? I couldn't and still can't find confirmation of dates anywhere although I know that my research skills aren't perfect, especially if the information's been posted on a Turkish-language site.

Just saw this from Eczacıbaşı, which was posted a few days ago.
They're no longer playing league matches at their tiny home facility due to the "urban transformation" in the area. I'm unsure if the building will remain standing for other uses or be torn down.
So, this season, they'll play those matches at the Cebeci Spor Kompleksi. (There's a picture of it included with the story.) It's about 10 miles west of the Eczacıbaşı Spor Salon, both on the European side of Istanbul. Meanwhile, Champions League matches will still be played at Burhan Felek, like they have been, just over the Bosporus on the Asian side.
However, what's most interesting to me is that they're looking to move to a new building that's being "rapidly constructed" in Kartal, which is a ways away over on the Asian side, about 15 miles southeast of Burhan Felek and about 30 miles from the Cebeci Spor Kompleksi or, in the latter case, nearly three hours away on public transport. The intent is for all matches, including European contests, to be played at that new facility in Kartal from 2025-26 on.
That's going to be so interesting, to have this club move to a much different part of Istanbul next year.
Well, I'm glad that I went to one match at the Eczacıbaşı Spor Salonu last season. I had no clue that they would never play there again after that year.

thats wild, the joke writes itself that Kartal is on another whole continent, but seriously it might as well be a different city. You can almost get to Bursa faster by boat than you can get to Kartal from their old district

On the other hand, both Beren and Defne Başyolcu are promising opposites coming through the pipeline Dear, it sounds like you excited with Beşiktaş, along with the names you have mentioned Yes Begüm (5) was one of the best on court as MB. Nisan Eroğuz (6) was the other one. Both played pretty well. I also like Bilge Paşa (24). She is 191 and quite efficient. Who knows, if she keeps going on like this, she may become 2nd Kurtagic, maybe better. By the way, Bengisu was in U23 already won Bronz medal a few weeks ago. Eylül Durgun's performance was a bit disappointing in general but she did her best. Note that you may watch all matches up to semis (since semi and final not uploaded yet) from here; www.youtube.com/@volleybul.official/streams

From Volleybox, shared by Kerim Küçük, though at first, dates were not accurate mentioned as 2nd-4th of September which didn't make sense. Upon inclusion of Zeleznicar. dates were updated and now it looks OK. AVID also may comment on that. @avid . I have already shared this updated information in Galatasaray Forum on 24th of July.

Thanks for all of this information. It seems Safranova is the only left-side talent with much potential. There was talk of moving Defne there but she seems to still be playing opposite.

I did see that on Volleybox, both the Sept. 2-4 dates before and then the Sept. 13-15 dates that are currently shown, but I'm hesitant to accept those as valid partially because it did initially say Sept. 2-4 but mostly because I can't find confirmation of those Sept. 13-15 dates anywhere else. The only other thing that I found was that either the Turkish Volleyball Federation or Galatasaray said in a tweet or press release weeks ago (I forgot the specific source) that it would take place in Istanbul in September.

Currently shown dates are 13-16 sep not 13-15 since 5 teams will participate and will last 4 days. So I assume that it makes sense and correct. Last year it was held between 19-21 sep, due to 4 teams participation. If any last minute change do not happen, it is going to be as I wrote.
